Charles Olson Lecture: Stephen Fredman

Stephen Fredman is the author of “‘Difficulties Are Once More’: Charles Olson, John Dewey, and the Rhythm of Experience.”  Stephen’s talk considers three features of Olson’s writing–rhythm, history, and performance–as they occur in works composed during his time at Black Mountain College. The American pragmatist, John Dewey, will be our companion, especially his Art as Experience.
